    Another one of my "just curious" questions.
    Is there any department that checks gas pumps for accuracy here?
    For no reason, I always check the milage on my motor.
    Three tanks ago, it got 110 miles per gallon. That seems about right.
    Two tanks ago, it got 84 miles per gallon.
    Today I filled up and it got 133 miles per gallon.
    My driving is almost always the same, so it's not me.
    The motor is well tuned, so it's not the motor.
    I have a locking gas cap, so nobody is stealing it.
    That leaves only pump variation.
    Obviously, I will keep going back to the station and pump that I filled at today. I think it's reading low.

    Go to the station with the pump that you get the most gas mileage! Problem solved!

    I'm sure if you asked 10 locals at least 8 of them would tell you that. :D

    Oh yes....... Yesterday I was down to maybe 3 liters in a 15 liter tank and it took only 7.7 liters. It is a Petron down the road from me and I know which pump it is. They've got my business.........
